Using the Unit

Your power edger is designed to
produce sharp contoured borders
around lawns and flower beds. It will cut
almost all types of grass, weeds and soft
green plants.
Preparations
If the work area is very dry, spray it
lightly with water: this softens the soil
and ensures that less dust is created.
Slightly damp green plants are easier to
cut.
WARNING
Clear away all obstacles and solid
objects from the work area.
Plan the best route for edging.
N
Always hold and operate your edger
on the right-hand side of your body.
